so like, um, did simon kill hazel?

my theory is: grace was trapped in her memories for at least three months between episode 9 & 10, due to simon's hair length and the fact that her memory-tape was all gross (in there for longer than should have been).

plus simon was super resentful, so it would have made sense for his obsession to lead him to track down hazel. and his number was even higher than amelia's when grace found him again. to get a number that high he must've done some pretty dubious shit given that killing denizens that were light and masks and stuff in the previous episodes only got their numbers a little higher...

so i imagine that he must've done something horrible and that maybe it was killing hazel? he knew the turtle cars were being quarantined toward the back... so he could have used all that time to track her down. he was also very resentful... idk man, book 3 was very tragic and sad.

Going insane about kicked dog with rabies type characters

[woobifiedvillain]

On a more serious note though perhaps I'm obsessed with this because I want more sympathy for characters who externalize their problems. Fuck being a perfect victim fuck being a decent one, something horrible was done to you and it was never recognized and you will never ever get back the person you were before, you had everything taken from you and now all you're left with is anger and sharp things and you know what. You should be able to bite people about it

[lgbtlunaverse]

Obsessed with characters who portray themselves as worse than they are. Who are lying to everyone including themselves about it. People generally assume if someone's lying about themselves they're trying to look better but sometimes they're trying to look worse. They attribute agency to where they had none, add intend to accidents, try to convince everyone that this is something they did instead of something that happened to them.

I don't know, but when Grace said, "I don't know," to Simon, I beyond mad at her. Like girl, you know him, and you know what he's going through, and you say that to him. The guy who's has trust issues and abandonment issues, who was probably changing himself to you happy, and all you have to say is, "I don't know." I'm not forgetting what Simon did, but geez, the fandom seems to glorify Grace like she's a Saint but treats Simon like he's the devil, forgetting that Grace was the leader of apex and did just as many awful things. Sorry for the rant. It's just some of the stories and forms about Simon and Grace. Get disturbing about how happy they were when Simon kicked the bucket. And this is the only place I know where I won't get hounded for saying this.

No no, don't apologise. Like I get it. The treatment Simon gets from the fandom can be pretty infuriating, especially in how unrelenting some of the fans are in hating him.

Grace is a good character, but we shouldn't forget that she's just as flawed as Simon in many ways, so seeing people take the moral high ground by ignoring all the bad stuff she did is annoying. "But she changed!"

Aye, she did, and it's an important part of her character. But the narrative of Book 3 is so fixated on elevating Grace to levels of pure good and Simon to those of irredeemable sin that it stops making sense in some ways. Especially that one last line: "I don't know."

... What did the writers mean by that? That Simon - a literal young adult who's been separated from his family and normal society for his formative years - doesn't deserve a proper explanation or reassurance that he's cared for? You can just tell the writers hated Simon with a passion, especially with how they talk about him online.

Another thing I wanna add, even if it's a bit of a tangent.

Grace goes off on Simon for grabbing her and trying to control her - this is a good message to convey, since victimisation of women and patriarchal toxicity is a real problem IRL. That being said, I think Simon and Grace are one of the worst examples to use for that - because we see Grace manhandle and touch Simon all the time prior to this. Grace has no sense of personal space; touching and grabbing Simon and Jesse, albeit playfully and without malicious intent. I might be misremembering, but don't you think Simon would have picked that up from her?

This is largely why a toxic masculinity storyline doesn't work with these two. At least, IMO. If anything, Grace is the toxic one initially, whereas Simon becomes toxic as a result of their relationship.

I know this seems like I'm blaming Grace for all of Simon's problems, I'm just calling it how I see it.

I ship Grace and Ryan. Is that uncash-money of me Infinity Train fandom?
